New video by my favourite band :)

 

Loving this band :)

 

While this community is as dead as MySpace, I thought I'd drop this in here, anyway ;)

 

Not even a week old :)

 

This is a small indie band, seemingly with zero exposure. Give it a listen.

 

Premiere in 44 hours :D

 

New song by Trident :)

 

Nice band, never heard them before :)

 

The new song by Ningen Isu, another banger :)

 

Brand new video, came out on Youtube an hour ago :)

 

This randomly appeared in my YT recommendations tonight, lol.

How are death threats legal in the USA?

 

Asterism is a pretty cool band I like a lot, but don't listen often enough to.

Many European language versions of anime and games are being localized not by translating the original Japanese, but the English.

Lots of translators also seem to use Google or DeepL, which makes the issue even worse.

The English language version often don't even translate, they write their own version, calling it "creative liberty". This leads to a completely different version than what was intended, with others, such as the German or Spanish version, being even further from the original.

That's why claims of people of having "learnt Japanese from anime" are dubious in the best of cases.

Source: Am Japanese, working in game translation in Tokyo. I'm also trilingual, which makes it even worse to watch this. Ignorance is bliss.

Doubt that'll do much. It's not that Japanese people don't want to date, they just lack the time and energy to do so, and starting a family is a rough ride.

He did mention he's an English native, though, he'd likely butcher the pronunciation so it sounds like Fat Cherries 😃

The fuck are you trying to say here? I'd like you to clarify your statement.

Forgive me my ignorance, but what's this about? Asexual means "not interested in sex", doesn't it? Or is there a new connotation I don't know about?

I'd like to decide for myself what I want to see and what not, as an adult.
